Bridge

…you can afford the time to put up with the following:  14.1 Does not properly migrate your custom workspaces.  You will have to rebuild and re-organize all of them.  Custom workspaces are corrupted on import and shoved to the back of the line behind the default Adobe template workspaces.  Rebuilding corrupted custom workspaces takes up valuable time that could be better spent on other things. This has been standard behavior at every build along the way ever since Br 13 was introduced in pre-release in the spring of 2022, six months before the first public beta was introduced. 14.1 does not import keyboard shortcuts from the previous Br 14 version.  You will have to rebuild all of these as well. If your Bridge cache is located anywhere other than Adobe’s default location, you’ll have to re-direct it in preferences or suffer the performance hit as Br builds a new cache at the default location. For many years, Br has never migrated the prefere

I've just updated to the latest version of Bridge CC 2020 (version 10.0.3)  and running windows 10 (version 1903). Since updating Bridge the auto hide/show feature of the taskbar doesn't work when I'm using Bridge in full screen. The taskbar does not show when I hover over the lower portion of the screen.    When Bridge is minimised, or if I'm sing any other program, the taskbar auto hides/reveals as expected, seems to be a conflict with Bridge, or its got some strange 'always on top' setting that I can't find.   Anybody else noticed this, or found a resolution to it. So far the only thing I've figured is just to have Bridge open slightly smaller than full screen.    [Moderator note: BRIDGE-8538]

Maybe I missed this in a recent update but where did Photomerge relocate in Bridge?  It used to be under Tools > Photoshop > Photomerge. I'm on version 16.2.0.1763. 

My Bridge was corrupted a while back and I had to make new keywords...what is has been doing is when I keyword something it seems to be bringing the old keywording in at the bottom. That is keeping my new keyword list from working properly...not all I keyword are showing.  I had uninstalled and reinstalled but it always brings back the keywords and then I have the same problem all over again. Can't seem to import without the keywording. If there a way to to find the old corrupted keywords and delete. Even if I delete all my new keywording and start over the old will start showing up (they are in italics at the bottom) It's very annoying.

Is there any way now with the customisable shortcuts of putting the focus in the search criterea box ala bridge v12? It seems daft that everytime I want to search for a file I need to press TAB four times before typing in search term. I know it seems like a small thing but when I'm having to search for hundreds of individual files a day having to "Ctrl+F, TAB, TAB, TAB, TAB, type search criterea", rather than simply "Ctrl+F, type search critea" gets really annoying after about 30 times.

I am trying to locate Workspaces in Finder for my saved workspaces from Bridge 2021 on my Mac.  I can find where to place them on my new iMac, but the location is not the same on my existing Mac.  I would like to copy over my workspace setups rather than re-create them fresh.  I have looked in Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Bridge 2021, and also in Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge 2021 Extensions/Workspaces.  Nothing in any of these locations - even though I can place a previously saved worskspace to this latter locationMost odd, and I would appreciate any guidance as to how I may find my current saved workspaces

Hello,I can see this issue has plagued Bridge across many versions for many years. How can it be so troublesome to literally just apply a star rating to a media file?!I've tried the purge thing. I've tried Stable and Beta versions of Bridge. I've tried changing the keyboard shortcut.The only way to get keyboard shortcuts for ratings to work is to first pick a rating using the mouse. Only then will keyboard shortcuts work MAYBE - and only on that specific file. Soon as I switch away from Bridge for a sec and return to it - shortcuts for ratings stop working again and I have to use the mouse.Really, really, really annoying and getting in the way of me doing my work.

Hi, I've been having an issue with the Bridge batch renaming for a few days and don't know how to solve it. Since I'm on a roadtrip for a few weeks it really bothers me that I can't get this right with all the pictures that I'm taking these days. The images are renamed in reversed chronological order, that is : the last picture is renamed number _001 and the first (for instance) number _752. It would be great if someone knew how to fix this. Many thanks in advance.

I recently updated my Adobe Bridge 2023 version. Since then, the moment I start Bridge, it crashes.I'm using MacOSX Monterey, 12.6.1 on an iMac, Late 2015. Bridge version is 13. The message I get only says: "Sorry, something went wrong. This is likely an issue at our end, but it could be that you're not connected to the Internet. Please check your connection and then try again later. If you're still having issues, please see our troubleshooting guide". There's only one button (Dismiss) and when pressed, Bridge closes. I've restarted the computer, internet connection works fine, I've uninstalled Bridge and installed it again, but nothing works. I've also tried to Reset preferences, reset the default workspace, and purge the cache, but it doesn't work. On the other hand, Photoshop works perfectly fine.  Any pointers? Thanks in advance  

Hi,  does anybody have an idea when there will be help with sorting the portfolio? It would be very helpfull if this could be done from the bridge.  Are there any AI tools that we can install that help us with that?  cheers Peter 

Here are user-submitted answers to common Bridge problems.I invite all suggestions to addition/corrections/improvements.

Yeah yeah I know, N+1 and all that nonsense. Considering how much of a mess Bridge 13/14 are still, I'm requesting that Adobe make Bridge 12 available for download (similar to how Photoshop with 3D is still available.) I'm a working pro and developer who relies on Bridge and I can't use Bridge 14 in production. Too many things are still broken, it crashes way too often, and the UI is still a disaster. Bridge 12 is far from perfect but at least its usable and only crashes a couple of times a day instead of constantly.

Hello,  I'm a designer within an e-commerce business. At present there is no formal system for organising our image bank. Some team members within sales/marketing are using libraries of images uploaded to Lightroom. This works really well for them as they find it easy to quickly select, edit and download images. Our files are cloud based, so it also means they aren't having to sync lots of files to their hard drives. I am more used to having all files stored in a central location and then browsing through bridge. I also really like being able to tag images to make browsing easier. My concern is selecting and downloading from shared libraries on Lightroom could get messy and also slow down my workflow. I am also worried about having lots of different versions of the same file floating around, although currently the team is small so it's not an immediate concern. My boss is happy for me to make my own system but ideally it would be nice to have a solution wh

When I import RAW files from my Canon camera, Bridge duplicates each file so I get two of everything. File Manager (Win 11) shows, correctly, one file per shot on the card. This does not happen with my Sony camera. Its a real pain having to delete all these duplicates and, until this is fixed, I have to copy via file manager.

I "upgraded" to the latest version of Bridge, an application I've been using for decades.  Now absolutely nothing works.  I cannot open a disk that contains, of course, all my photos.  The folders sidebar shows the disk, but no caret to open it and the folders in the subsequent hierarchy to get at the files I want to work with.  What in the world is going on?I will be ignoring many of the too-frequent "updates" to the suite of apps in the future.  I'm getting tired of starting from scratch each time.  I need to get some work done.

The text is too small and would like to increase the text size. Cant find where to do itthanks Shannon

Hi! I've just updated to Adobe 2020 and when using Bridge, I can't make the preview image big enough... it just appears as a small image. It shows you how to make the miniature size bigger, but no the Preview image.   ..any tips? thanks!

So, when I go to rename a single .mp4 or .mxf files in Bridge it (seemingly randomly) comes up with the "the process cannot be completed because it is open in another process" error prompt. For some reason, it seems that trying different ways to rename it helps. For example, clicking the clip and hitting F2 brings up the prompt. Click ok. Right click -> rename will bring up the prompt. Click ok. Hit F2, and it will let me rename the file successfully. Oh and the error comes up AFTER I type the name and press enter. I'm so lost at how and why this error keeps popping up. Eventually, it allows me to rename the file after cycling through a few times. Also the annoying part is I don't know if the rename will work until after I press enter. I've tried to "open in Explorer" and rename there and it allows me to rename. A previous post suggests that this means it's a Bridge problem, not a Windows OS problem. I also tried mapping a new keyboard shortcut to rename, and it didn't make a differ

If Bridge could have the option to start up clean without recalling the last folder I looked at. Preferably deleting all the cache on closing. It would be so much faster.If it does already, where is it in the setup?   

Hello Adobe Can you PLEASE stop adding new features to a broken foundation? We still use v12 because of the poor performance of 13-14. So, please stop active work on new stuff and fokus on fixing the horrible performance. Or have you just given up on it and try to let i slide?? The performance is THE number ONE priority. Thats the only thing the majority of us needs to be fixed. We look at 14 as experimental. As of now, no new stuff is needed. Please respond. // Magnus Svensson

I am exporting AI files to PSD without color profiles. Checking the color profiles for the exported files in Bridge shows some with Untagged (correct) and some with sRGB (incorrect). If I delete the file, empty the trash, restart Illustrator and Bridge and then re-export the file, the color profile shows Untagged for the first few newly saved files and then a few more files on and it switches back to sRGB again. When I check the document profile in Photoshop the files that are tagged with sRGB in Bridge show up as Untagged RGB in Photoshop.I have even had it happen where the file shows correctly as Untagged, but then if I rename the file in Bridge, it switches to sRGB.This is happening with exporting PNG from PSD in Photoshop also.Seems like a bug?

Bridge is not showing thumbnails for image files on Sony A7R5 connected to a WIndows PC running Win10 via USB. Can anyone tell please me how to configure Bridge to show previews for files stored on a memory card in this camera, or how to resolve this issue otherwise? Bridge does show thumbnails for image files stored on drive(s) internal to the PC in question. Other programs including Windows Explorer and Photos are able to show previews and open files from the memory card in the camera on this same PC and camera at roughly the same time as the attemps using Bridge, so we know that the camera is connected, and the connection is working. I have tried the solutions suggested in the following thread (as well as restarting Bridge, and the connection to the camera, several times), with no change to the results:https://community.adobe.com/t5/bridge-discussions/bridge-is-not-showing-thumbnails-where-can-i-rectify-this/td-p/9766235#:~:text=Start%20Adobe%20Bridge%20and%20immediately,%

Hi there, I have an RTX3090 GPU and would prefer to use this to render images (and thumbnails) in Bridge, rather than to have Bridge use the CPU do so. Is there a way to create this preference? I have updated to v12.0.1.246 as of this post. Thank you #gpu #bridge #preferences

We are happy to announce the release of Adobe Bridge Beta (14.1.0.236)   We're thrilled to announce the latest Beta release of Adobe Bridge! In this release, you'll find exciting new features such as:   Select the preferred Photoshop version   This feature allows the user to select the default Photoshop version, which would be launched for Photoshop-specific workflows (Place in, Tools menu) from Bridge.  If a user has multiple versions of Photoshop installed, they can select a specific version from Preferences > Applications to execute Tools/Place-in operations.    Note: These preference changes will not affect the Open and Open With operations. They will continue to be associated with the default file type associations (FTA).    Use 'AND' for Keywords filter   Users can now utilize the AND operation within the Keywords filter, revealing files containing all the selected keywords. To do so, the user needs to select the checkbox next t
